(Answer) (Category) Linux on Dell systems FAQ-O-Matic : (Category) Dell OpenManage Applications : (Category) Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) :
Why won't OMSA 1.2 install with kernel 2.4.18-3 as found in Red Hat Linux 7.3?
The 2.4.18-3 kernel has a nasty data corruption bug with the ext3 file system. This was corrected in the 2.4.18-4 kernel and all subsequent kernels. Dell recommends customers *not* use 2.4.18-3 for this reason, please upgrade to a later errata kernel using Red Hat Network. OMSA knows of this issue and refuses to install on 2.4.18-3 to avoid this data corruption problem.
